Wenonah High School students returned winners in the Birmingham City Schools District Science Fair on January 21, 2014 at the Southern Museum of Flight. Of all Birmingham City High Schools, Wenonah students placed first in nearly every category. Breanna Jordan rose to the top, winning first place in Biology with her project entitled “WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF ENZYMES ON A PROTEIN?” Students Takiria Lee & Denisha McNearly excelled, placing first in Physical Science with “DOES THE TEMPERATURE ON A SURFACE EFFECT THE EXTRACTING OF FINGERPRINTS?” In the same category, Wynter Rudolph earned second place honors with “IS THE BURNING SPEED OF A SCENTED CANDLE FASTER THAN UNSCENTED CANDLE?” In addition, Jaylin McCurdy’s project, “WHAT PAPER ABSORBS THE MOST?” was selected to advance to the Regional Science Fair with her classmates’ exhibits.
As if more accolades were needed, of the many projects submitted district-wide, Wenonah High School won Best Of Show with Takiria Lee’s & Denisha McNearly’s exhibit, “DOES THE TEMPERATURE ON A SURFACE EFFECT THE EXTRACTING OF FINGERPRINTS?”
Principal Regina Carr-Hope expressed her congratulations to the Science Department and Science chair Jacqueline Taylor Willis. All of Wenonah’s participants will enter the Regional Science Fair that will take place March 1, at UAB
